I could but I'm too tired. Here is a picture of bulk glitter instead. Good luck finding listings for kilograms of uranium.
Obligatory mention: industry leader Glitterex has a customer that buys significantly more than anyone else, and they refuse to spill the beans. Internet folk have been searching for the answer for years with little luck. If you live in the Jersey City metro area and have torture equipment, you might solve a great conspiracy theory. /s
I’m still convinced that it’s a paint company or the military.
That does make the most sense but modern radars should be able to distinguish aircraft from glitter, which moves at wind speed.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be for the purpose of creating chaff, though that’s also where I first went. It could be something odd like anti-laser measures or a means of making air shows flashier. I’ve no clue, really. Black op glitter procurement is just the funniest option.
